Poetry Response #3 Lost Brother

Stanley Moss, in his poem “Lost Brother” is one vast metaphor between the nature and the human race. Moss uses the literary tools of point of view, a shift in town, and appropriate diction to help convey his message between the juxtaposition of mankind and how nature interacts with it. On the surface of the poem it may seem as if the speaker is just a tree and its sad because it knows that it will eventually be cut down and cannot do anything with its life. But actually, the speaker of the poem cares deeply about nature and the land everywhere. He is an environmentalist that watches and tries to protect the land for at least “four thousand eight hundred sixty-two years” The environmentalist is “pained” by every ounce of destruction that the trees under take. The author is using trees as a symbolic metaphor for people in society. Trees are tall and stable; they represent a life cycle and wisdom. In the last line “Sooner or later, some bag of wind will cut me down” The author is trying to explain that you need to live your life the best way you possibly can, because life is not forever and when your time comes to be cut down, you need to have done everything you can to live your life to the fullest. It is a tragedy that it takes a brothers death to realize that you shouldn’t take your life for granted. But what would be even more of a tragedy is to not realize the universal idea of the poem. The tone of the

Eddie Sue's Child Research Paper

How extravagant of my grandparents to name my mother, Eddie Sue. How much more extravagant it was that people called me not by my name, but by the title, Eddie Sue’s Child. People called me Eddie Sue’s Child not in a response of being asked, “Whose child is she?” But they called me, Eddie Sue’s Child as a catcall. People called me that, I’m sure, because the name Eddie Sue is extravagant! To say the least, it’s a crazy mixed-up name and it was crazy for any parent to name their child that, especially…

The Great Gatsby Passage Analysis

Hey Ameila, I enjoyed your post. In the first paragraph you bring up Suki, as she is entering the hotel. All of the guests were in shock! You had suggested that it seemed that if she did own the hotel the guests wouldn’t be shocked, I agree without on that. I think the main reason everyone was shocked was because she was the Lady Matador in the flesh. I don’t think any of the guests have actually seen her before, so she was like Gatsby in the way that he was almost a fictional character to everyone…
